LIMS: What It Is, Why It Matters, and 5 Real-World Cases with Actiz LIMS

In an environment where precision, traceability, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable, quality control laboratories face constant pressure to optimize their operations. Spreadsheets, paper records, and manual processes not only slow things down but also open the door to costly errors. This is where the LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) comes in.

But what exactly is a LIMS? A LIMS is software designed to manage and track a laboratory’s samples, experiments, results, and data. It works by automating tasks, integrating equipment, ensuring compliance with standards such as ISO/IEC 17025, and providing strategic data for decision-making.

It is in this context that Actiz was born, out of the need to bring this transformation to laboratories in an intuitive, comprehensive way, with no hidden costs. More than just a vendor, Actiz positions itself as a partner in the digitization journey, understanding that every laboratory has unique challenges.

Below, discover the results achieved by laboratories that chose Actiz LIMS, through the firsthand experience of those living this transformation every day.

Laboratórios Bagó – 200% Increase in Productivity and 66% Faster Batch Release

For a pharmaceutical giant like Laboratórios Bagó, speed in batch release is crucial. Before Actiz, the manual process was time-consuming and made traceability difficult. The implementation of Actiz LIMS centralized information and automated the workflow, generating impressive results.

“Actiz LIMS transformed our routine. We left behind the time spent on manual records and spreadsheets to focus on what really matters: technical analysis. The system brought more agility, organization, and control, making it an essential tool for anyone seeking efficiency and quality in their processes.”
— Yago Pereira de Souza, Quality Control Coordinator

In practice, what used to take up to 3 days is now done in just 1, allowing the technical team to focus on more strategic tasks.

Buaiz Alimentos – Full Traceability with SAP Integration

In the food industry, traceability is not a differentiator, it’s a requirement. Buaiz Alimentos, with more than 80 years of history, needed a system that would organize the laboratory and integrate seamlessly with SAP.

Actiz LIMS eliminated manual data entry and ensured end-to-end traceability, from raw materials to finished products.

“Actiz has directly contributed to optimizing our quality laboratory processes. It’s a system built for this exact purpose, so we’ve been able to apply our analytical routines and generate standardized, fast reports for different purposes. With the system, we’ve been able to cut process steps and speed up analytical record-keeping.”
— Christiana Fassarela, Quality Analyst and Technical Manager

In practice, direct integration with SAP eliminates data-entry errors and ensures information flows securely and automatically between the laboratory and the rest of the company. To understand how this works in more detail, check out this excerpt from the Além do LIMS podcast with Christiana Fassarela, where she details Buaiz Alimentos’ experience.

MinasLab – From Setup to Excellence with ISO 17025 Compliance

For laboratories in the setup phase or pursuing accreditation, like MinasLab, having a system that is compliant with the standards from day one is a decisive step. Actiz was instrumental in organizing processes and ensuring compliance with ISO 17015 requirements.

“Look, I see Actiz as a fundamental piece that lets me have all my records in place. I believe it readily meets every requirement. It’s clear that whoever built the system already understood the ISO/IEC 17025 requirements. I’ve worked with 3 other systems before, and none of them were complete, especially when it came to meeting the standards. Actiz is covering me end to end.”
— Lidyane Alves Oliveira, CEO and Founder

What does this mean in practice? Laboratories pursuing accreditation save time and resources, since the system already provides tools such as an audit trail, document control, and competency management.

Alex Stewart Agriculture – Autonomy and Efficiency Without Relying on Code

A lack of autonomy is a common pain point in many laboratories running rigid systems. Alex Stewart Agriculture faced exactly this challenge, depending on technical support for any customization. With Actiz LIMS, it gained independence and flexibility.

“We decided to look for a new LIMS due to several limitations we faced with our previous system. Our search for a system that would meet all our needs led us to Actiz, where we found a modern system that met every one of our requirements, mainly because it’s software that’s easy to configure and doesn’t depend on specialized professionals.”
— Paulo Nishimura, IT Coordinator

What does this mean in practice? The team can create and adjust reports, forms, and workflows without depending on technical support, gaining agility in day-to-day operations.

SafraLab – 80% Faster Results and a Customer-First Focus

In agribusiness, speed in delivering test reports can make or break an export contract. SafraLab replaced an inefficient in-house system with Actiz and saw its turnaround times drop dramatically.

“After I found Actiz, my life changed. With Actiz’s system in place, our sales team, our lab team, and our results generation are all far more agile, and it’s been great to have them as partners. […] I can only be thankful that Actiz crossed my path and solved almost 100% of my problems.”
— Júlia Machado, Operations Coordinator

What does this mean in practice? Automating quotes and report issuance cut delivery time by 80%, making the service more competitive in the international market. Check out all the details in this podcast episode, where we go beyond LIMS to discuss the impact of this transformation.
